Eagles Fire: A Game of Blame Brian Johnson: Is Coach Nick Sirianni to blame for the ineffective offense?
2024 will be the second straight season with two new coordinators for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles, who placed eighth overall and just one spot above that at seventh in points per game, will be letting go of offensive coordinator Brian Johnson in an attempt to place blame for what went wrong with their attack.
Apart from top-10 finishes It’s reasonable to say that the Eagles did struggle on that side of the ball in 2023, particularly towards the end of the campaign.
An increasingly inventive system was required, as was the development of Nick Sirianni’s schemes. But that’s Sirianni’s system, and it would be elementary school logic to fire Johnson for adhering to the guidelines the OC was given.Jeffrey Lurie, whose net worth is estimated to be close to $5 billion, is undoubtedly intelligent enough to recognize that. However, once he makes the decision to proceed with Sirianni, a move involving franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts is prohibited by a $255 million contract. As a result, Johnson becomes the victim of the barbarians at the NovaCare Complex gate, who were looking for someone to lash out at.
The misconception is that you have to let go of your rage.
The Eagles, led by Lurie, are fortunate enough to not have to participate in the game that many other teams must. As many calls as WIP receives stating they won’t watch or go to a game if [insert name] returns, Lurie’s bottom line benefits from the number of people who might actually follow through on that threat.
The owner has the option to exercise patience, but there’s really no distinction between Lurie and those anxious sports talk callers other than the zeros at the end of the owner’s bank account.
Just like his most dedicated fans, Lurie is acting just as unpredictable and emotional. Even though he obviously has a great passion for the franchise, placing blame is always the first course of action in difficult circumstances.
Anticipations and Impatience: Did the Eagles mishandle the Des
To those who know Sirianni even remotely, blaming anyone else but the head coach for the Eagles’ offense is like fretting about the appearance of the yard while the house’s foundation is falling apart. Sometimes, that’s even a necessary evil in the NFL.
Go back to December 20, two days following a depressing 20-17 loss in Seattle, when Sirianni justified his offense by bemoaning Johnson’s scapegoating.
Make no mistake, this offensive is being run exactly the same way as it did last year and the year before that, Sirianni said. “We have to put the players in more positions to create explosive plays.”
Then came the real deal, which Sirianni had repeatedly hinted at behind the scenes and in front of the cameras ever since he moved here in 2021.
“You do realize that this offense is mine? “This is my offense again,” he said. Thus, I believe Brian is being unfairly blamed for the violation. The plays are called by Brian. The plays are called by Brian. Unfairly, it belongs to Brian. Since this is my offense, I should take the brunt of the criticism for it.
“I became employed to perform a job here because, as an offensive coordinator, I was successful in coaching players and assisting them in winning through our various strategies.
“I’m determined to do that.”Going further and making Sirianni an ineffective head coach for the sake of public perception is delaying the inevitable, even if you want to conveniently forget the organization’s glorification of Johnson over the past three years and the effect it might have on those who understand he’s being served up as a lightning rod for those who don’t know what they don’t know.
